Baker Botts has made further moves in Europe, with the hire of Hogan Lovells’ Brussels managing partner Matthew Levitt.

Levitt joins Baker Botts after almost 17 years at Hogan Lovells where he focused on transactional, advisory and contentious EU and UK competition law. He has particular expertise in the shipping, ports, oil and gas, industrial manufacturing and consumer products sectors, and was co-chair of the firm’s transportation sector team.

Andrew Baker, managing partner of Baker Botts said: “Matthew is an outstanding antitrust practitioner with a wealth of experience in dealing with competition law and enforcement issues in the EU, the UK and around the world.

“The fact that a lawyer with Matthew’s track record and experience has moved to our firm really speaks to the growing reputation of our international antitrust practice and reflects our commitment to further strengthen our presence in the market.”
